Supporting People-first Delivery of Public Benefits 

The Digital Benefits Network and the American Public Human Services Association (ASPHA) curate this selection of benefits-focused resources, projects, and implementation tools on the Digital Government Hub. We created this page to make it easy for benefits practitioners to find the resources that are most relevant to their work. 

Our benefits-specific resources focus on SNAP, Medicaid, TANF, WIC, Child Care, Unemployment Insurance, and basic income, and we offer resources on other programs as well. See the “Benefits Program” drop down for a full list of programs. 

Use the Benefits Journey points below to navigate to resources under each, or continue down to the library filters to find what you’re looking for.

Data

Harnessing Data and Technology to Construct a Human Services System that Supports Thriving and Equitable Communities

Recent innovations in technology have opened a path for H/HS agencies to dramatically strengthen their data and technology infrastructure while providing fairer and more equal access to crucial benefits and services. By taking the concrete policy steps outlined in this brief, we believe that Congress and the administration can help human services agencies accelerate the construction of next generation systems that support the move toward a data-driven, equitable, multidisciplinary service delivery model.
